The OLAP-XML Federation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the logical “OLAP-XML Federation System” that enables the external data available in XML format to be used as virtual dimensions. Unlike the complex and time-consuming physical integration of OLAP and external data in current OLAP systems, our system makes OLAP queries referencing fast-changing external data possible. This demo shows the uses of XML data for selection and grouping and explains the query optimization and evaluation processes with a concrete example.

Algebra-Based Optimization of XML-Extended OLAP Queries
In today’s OLAP systems, integrating fast changing data physically into a cube is complex and time-consuming. Our solution, the “OLAP-XML Federation System,” makes it possible to reference the fast changing data in XML format in OLAP queries without physical integration. In this paper, we introduce the novel query optimization techniques specialized for the federation system including a query o...
متن کاملCost Modeling and Estimation for OLAP-XML Federations
The ever-changing data requirements of today’s dynamic businesses are not handled well by current OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems. Physical integration of unexpected data into OLAP systems is a long and time-consuming process, making logical integration, or federation, the better choice in many cases. The increasing use of XML, e.g. in business-to-business (B2B) applications, sugges...
متن کاملXML-Extended OLAP Querying
The rapidly changing data requirements of today’s dynamic business environments are not handled well by current On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems. Physically integrating data from new sources into OLAP systems is a long and time-consuming process, making logical integration the better choice in many situations. The increasing use of Extended Markup Language (XML), e.g. in business-to...
متن کاملXML encoding and Web Services for Spatial OLAP data cube exchange: an SOA approach
XML and Web Services technologies have revolutionized the way data are exchanged on the Internet. Meanwhile, Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) tools have emerged to bridge the gap between the Business Intelligence and Geographic Information Systems domains. While Web Services specifications such as XML for Analysis enable the use of OLAP tools in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments, no solution...
متن کاملGMLA: A XML Schema for Integration and Exchange of Multidimensional-Geographical Data
The integration among DW, OLAP and GIS has been given considerable attention in recent years by many researchers and industrial corporations. This may be a result of: 1) DW/OLAP can improve GIS spatial queries whereas, 2) a GIS can provide better support to deal with the DW/OLAP geographic data. Some research about this integration has already been done. However, these approaches do not deal wi...
